Access to the starting point:
Leave the Štajerska motorway at the Šempeter exit, then follow the signs for Šempeter. From the centre of Šempeter in the Savinja Valley, turn right at the semaphorised junction towards Šešice at Prebold. When Šempeter ends, follow the main road or signs for Šešče or Matke. After crossing the river Savinja you arrive in Šešče pri Preboldu, where you go right towards Matki and Sveti Lovrenc (left Griže), and a few metres further on left towards Matki. Continue for another 100 m and you will reach the Šešče Cultural Centre, the Šešče Fire Station and the shop where the route described above begins. Park in a suitable place next to these buildings.
Path description:
From the starting point, take the road to the left, where there are signs for Hom 1 hour (the Brdovska path to Hom leads along the right-hand road and is slightly longer). The path initially takes you past a few houses, and after the chapel and before the small transformer, turn right onto the dirt track. The path continues between the fields, and just after the sign, on the part of the path where the track turns slightly to the left, we continue straight on the beaten track, which takes us into the forest.
The bench, which is located at the edge of the forest and from which we have a beautiful view of part of the Savinjska valley, is bypassed on the left, and then we start climbing through the forest. In the forest, the path turns slightly more to the left and then climbs crosswise to the junction with the path from Griž, where it reaches an asphalt road.
Continue right towards Hom, where you walk along the road, and a little higher up, turn right onto the marked footpath towards Hom. There is a moderate climb through the forest, and after the crossroads, where the Brdovska path joins from the right, the path becomes slightly steeper. Passing a 300-year-old tree, we reach a chapel where we join the direct route from Griž.
Continue straight ahead, following the more complex cart track, and when you leave the forest you will reach a small pass where the path from the hamlet of Zahom joins.
Here, looking to the right, a fine view opens up, which in good visibility reaches as far as Kamnik Savinja Alps, and we continue past the nearby house and continue along the steep macadam road, which we follow all the way to the top of Hom, where the Church of St Mary Magdalene and the Drago's home at Hom stand.
